Really? I remember the opposite. People were saying John Georges would probably run the advocate down just like he did with the picayune.



Georges bought the Picayune in 2019 long after he acquired (and ruined) The Advocate. I can't believe the Manships sold our wonderful paper to that crooked video poker operator.

Dont subscribe, dont give them clicks. They're barely hanging on as it is, wont take much to push them into bankruptcy. Time to purge the country of these propaganda activists disguised as journalists, send them all to the poorhouse.

Make the profession so worthless, traditional journalism schools cant maintain. End the cycle of indoctrination.




All of this in spades. The problem is conservatives are complacent in combating the forces that are progressively transforming our nation into a socialist state.

Last time I bought a copy of the BR Advocate was Memorial Day weekend. I needed fodder to light the charcoal in my BBQ chimney.

The only reason to buy that garbage paper is when LSU sports wins a Natty and you want to frame the headline

I guess I had it the other way around then....that Georges would run down Picayune just like he did the advocate

BR is not your hometown anymore. Time to cobble together a news rag that you can publish that agrees with your world view.

Get to it!

Stop paying money for their newspapers. I can guarantee you they are already a fraction of what they were 20 yrs ago, losing half their subscriptions and buys would probably finish them off.

Their subscriptions are nothing.

Feel free to contact an advertiser or two.

My parents owned a newspaper growing up. Advertisers do not want to run ads in publications that have no circulation.

Most of the letters to the editor are from left wing idiots. Also, when I realized that I was just reading headlines of their articles and not any of the dribble from their "journalist", I was wasting my time. Most of the paper is just reprinted MSM bias IMO. Now my breakfast and coffee in the morning will be more enjoyable.

The Advocate is awful! Even injects leftist politics into the sports page.

The times picayune used to be one of the greatest newspapers in the country. Enter john George and now it stinks. They used to have great writers. And now it stinks.

I have no subscription, but get the paper dropped off on my driveway several days a week. It’s obvious that they’re giving the paper away for free to drive up “circulation” so they can continue the advertising.

I honestly wonder if I could call and report them for littering?

Yes, I should add that the lefty wackos here in BR think LSU should reconsider "Mike the Tiger" as our mascot!

How f'd up is that.....

Are we headed for a civil confrontation in the near future?
